I noticed something interesting about the buildings that you are creating. They often have a node in the middle of a straight segment and that node is duplicated in place which triggers validation errors in OSM Inspector. You might want to see if you can prevent this from happening in your editor or double check after you create buildings and clean them up.

Removed way that has no basis in satellite imagery and no response from creator.

Thanks for submitting improvements to the map! I think you are the first person I've seen get the opening_hours format correctly on their first edit! :)
One feature you might want to know about is the tool that can "square" the corners of a building. Since most are built with 90 degree angles, pressing 's' after you draw a rectangle will make sure all the angles are 90 degrees.

Please find a less offensive way to test proper attribution of OSM next time.

Hey there Morgan. I love (some of) your movies. :)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Thanks for your contributions. I noticed that one of your "buildings" actually connected to a road, which triggers some validation warnings that you probably weren't aware of. As a rule of thumb, you want to make sure buildings surround just the physical structure of a building and not things like yards and driveways and such.

FYI, there are a couple of problems with this path that you uploaded. The first is that every single point was duplicated. I'm assuming there is a problem with your import. I went ahead and deleted every duplicate node. But you might want to be aware so that you don't repeat the mistake on your next import if you use that same workflow. The second problem is that the path doesn't seem to match reality. I don't see anything like it from satellite imagery. It doesn't mean it's wrong, just that it doesn't look quite right.

Hi @EuleKC. If this isn't really a building, and clearly it isn't, it shouldn't be labelled as one. Maybe you are looking for a place=suburb designation instead. That would be a more appropriate tag.

FYI, there were 3 footways on the Neches St. side of the church. They were all overlapping and causing validation errors. You might want to verify your kml files don't include duplicate data before importing.

FYI, I deleted way/382794751 since it seems way off from where it should be. Not sure if this indicates further problems or is just a one-off.

Thanks for contributing to OSM. I removed this "path" though since it is just along a street and there is no actual path there. (and it loops around a couple of times which makes it cross itself at certain points). Maybe you are trying to indicate sidewalks. If that is the case, you might want to do it by using satellite imagery instead of uploading gps tracks. Also, does the "preschool" in the area have a real name? You might want to use that instead of just "preschool" on the node. LMK if you have any questions. Happy to help.

Thanks for contributing to the map @natehome123. I noticed a tiny "mall" among your edits. I'm guessing that was a mistake. Here is the way: way/635838225

Oh, I see the "problem". Two nodes sit so close to each other than the house numbers were smashed together. Turns out it is a multi-unit building and the nodes are two different numbers. There is plenty of room in the area though to spread them apart so that you can see them. For example:

node/3386481618
node/3386481617

sit on top of each other and you can only see one of them at the max zoom level. So, not duplicates, just sitting on top of and obscuring each other.

I reverted this change since it had too many problems to try and fix manually. A road was created using one long way that was overlapping the existing way. It also zigzagged over itself, which isn't allowed. And names were abbreviated and apartment name was listed for the street name. Let me know if you need help creating a route, but I think everything is already there if you just want to tag existing roads.

Hi Peter, are you aware that there are a bunch of duplicate address nodes in this changeset? See node/3386481617 for example. Several in that area. Maybe more as well.

Why is this tagged as a nuclear explosion site? Are you saying that when I get my car washed at Bubbles Hand Wash nearby, they are using radioactive water?

Oops, changeset comment is wrong. Picked the wrong one for a pick list. It should read "fixing up ways that intersect themselves".

Does this powerline really loop back onto itself?? way/283435914

Hi @Vangaurd. I did some work to clean up this area and thought I'd share some tips with you to prevent this type of mapping error in the future. When mapping out a big network of roads like this, it is critical that you don't double back on the road and reuse points in an effort to make it all with a single path. What you need to do is create a new highway/road/path for every junction and every spur road. That way, validation checks won't set of alerts and need to be remedied. Happy mapping. -- b-jazz

Thanks for contributing to the map @Skreiss. I've made a few modifications to your changes that you might be interested in. Somehow the boundary path was broken into several segments. I went ahead and joined them all into one "way". I also adjusted the boundary according to some better satellite imagery and tagged the new version with the garden type and gave it a name (there is no need to add the two points, you can tag the entire boundary with that information). Once again, thanks for improving the map.

Hi birdsiieye. Thanks for contributing to the map.

I'm confused though. Is it Super Burrito or Super Taco? I wouldn't really say that one is the English translation of the other.
